Unrelated but I gotta share somewhere – from Andrea:
“I was walking home from work yesterday at 6pm. On the corner of Florida and U st. There was a late 20’s early 30’s guy talking on his cell phone passing by. “yeah man you know I live in Dupont circle…yeah its a monument to the chemical company…at least I think so”
Sarah Worley shares this gem:
“Overheard at Woodley Park Metro station over intercom: “Attention Metro customers. For your convenience, Metro provides restrooms in this station. Please do not relieve yourself on the platform.”
Thanks to all who sent in entries this week. If you overhear a funny convo or quote – please email it to [email protected] with “I Swear to God they said that!” in the title.

Ride with me, bro.
On a Saturday afternoon in January, as an ambulance screams along 10th St. NW toward U St., a guy in his 20s (no earbuds) takes his time crossing 10th, making the ambulance slow down.
As the guy gets to the other side of the street, a voice from the ambulance megaphone blasts out: “Next time you don’t get out of the way, you’re riding with me, bro.”
Many more after the jump. Read More
